All you need is "Amore" the December SOTM. This stamp set includes all the stamps you might need for Valentines, Weddings, or all those "Love" scrapbook pages you might want to make. This stamp set includes 7 images, 5 sentiments, and 1 border to choose from for all your "Amore" needs. If you have come from Doreen's blog you are on the right path.

For my project I made some goodies for Valentines Day. The first goodie is a box of candy that I covered with some AmoreBTP. (Go Here for info on the candy box.) The second goodie box is a box of Valentines with coordinating envelopes.

Now it's time to hop over to all the stamping stuff at Sheila's blog to see what "Amore" she has for you.

It's homemade candies all wrapped in Mistletoe with a gift card in the corner. This weekend we had our annual fundraiser for the food bank. All the local crafters sell their wonderful handmade goodies at the Craft Boutique to raise money and take food donations for the local food bank. If you've been missing me on my blog I have been busy making my homemade items for the sale but now I'm back.
I met Chris at the Craft Boutique where she was selling her fabulous homemade candies. If you have seen the price of Sees candies, this box of homemade chocolate treats is a bargain. I got one for everyone in my family.
Now for the best part....Chris will come to my home and teach me and my friends how to make this fabulously scrumptious candy. Our Chocolate party is on December 11, just in time for Christmas gift making. (If you miss this one we will have another chocolate party for Valentines).

It's that time of the year when I get ready for the annual fund raiser for the food bank. We make craft items to sell at the craft boutique just in time for Christmas. When I saw these colors they went nicely with my owl note pad. So, I covered a clipboard with BTP paper from Olivia(Sunset), Sweet Home(Sweet Home), and Passages(Brown Bag). A coordinating RSVP pen finishes the package.

The color challenge is:

The final craft item is a clip board with notepad

Grab your Sunset, Indian Corn Blue, and Brown Bag and join the challenge. Create something fun with these cool fun colors and share with us at Heart2 Heart.

About Me

My real name is Barbara but you can call me Jody. I've been married to the best husband ever for 46 years. I'm a mother of 2 great children, Mikel and Carrie. I've been blessed to be a grandmother to 6 super wonderful grandchildren, Autumn, Joshua, Alicyn, Alexis, Ashley & Zachary.
I have been an independent consultant with Close to my Heart since 1998. The reason I joined this company is because I was looking for a fun way to make a little extra money. When I saw my friends beautiful handmade cards and scrapbook pages I knew I could have fun with this business.
My time with this company has been filled with special times and special people. It is a real privilege to work with the finest products in the industry.One of the greatest joys of the job is the people that I have met and that I now call "friend."
